nate's message is simple, concise, smooth and serious all at once. maybe a bit corny, conceptually, but made up for with a flawless delivery. and clearly a message that is aimed at an issue that affects him and the people around him
where as sage is imparting us with family guy tier wisdom like "men who buy guns are just compensating for their penis he he"... just words thrown together to sound clever, no real depth or soul to them at all
come @ me
You already told me how good of a writer you think Sage is.. nothing to come at you with.

sage is a good writer... i don't retract that statement. he should do def poetry slam or some **** like that. that's honestly his shining point.
but nate's gun track was deeper than his... i stand by that statement
cause it was more real, and less silly, when you spell out what they are saying in plain english.
while sage is throwing around ****ty pop psychology like "guns are phallic symbols" and "guns are an extension of a man's penis"
nate is talking about young black men getting a gun and letting it get into their head that they're invincible now cause they're strapped. just a bit of pragmatic street wisdom. and of course the song is smooth as ****.
rip what a ****in legend

Does anyone have a link to the number of shootings/mass shootings in the US for 2015?

What do you do though? If there are any US posters on here who agree with Piers or gun control, how do you do it?
That's a great video. Anyways, I live in Canada and Canada has gun control. I like gun control because I can walk down the Canadian sidewalks with a strong feeling of safety. Honestly, I just don't see a need for guns. If I wanted some extra security, I could always buy myself a home security system (I don't know what they're called, but they have a really big alarm.) I also know some physical moves of self-defense. I'm not the type of person who's looking for a fight, but I'm not afraid of one either. Life without guns is good enough for me.
